Ok. Your cygcheck output says that you're a domain user, and that domain
groups are not part of /etc/group:
C:\cygwin\bin\id.exe output (ntsec)
UID: 38685(d1wmw01) GID: 28109(mkgroup_l_d)
^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^
This is what's cauing the message you saw. Now, as Pierre said in
<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-08/msg01372.html>, this is purely
aesthetic and shouldn't affect the operation of Cygwin in any way.
If the message annoys you, you can run "mkgroup -l -d > /etc/group" (make
a backup of your current /etc/group, just in case). Be prepared that this
command might take a long time in large domains. Otherwise, just ignore
this message. Perhaps we should make separate messages for
"mk{passwd,group}" and "mkgroup_l_d"...
